Needless to say, had it been necessary, he would have have found the will and the way! <br /><br />Just like everyone at National Review heaped praise on Pres. Bush, despite turning surpluses into deficits, botching the war in Afghanistan and leading us into Iraq, pushing the deficit-spending-financed Medicare Part D, the federal standards in No Child Left Behind, etc. <br /><br />The actual rationale and results of Romney&#39;s policies appear to be irrelevant to Geraghty. His paycheck depends on setting aside those kinds of concerns to cheer on &quot;his&quot; side-- which just so happens to consist mostly of Dixiecrats using the rhetoric of Lee Atwater and Pat Buchanan&#39;s Southern Strategy. reflectionephemeralhttp://www.poisonyourmind.comnoreply@blogger.com
